Chapter 648: Agreed
"I agree with Mr. Guo's proposal."
The silence just now means that no one opposes Guo Jia, and it also means that no one stands up to support Guo Jia. However, at this time, the first person to open his mouth to seconded the proposal was Chen Deng. I have to say, it was quite unexpected.
Don't forget, Chen Deng is a native of Xuzhou, and he lived in this Picheng at the beginning! Regarding Guo Jia's proposal, under normal circumstances, even if Chen Deng agrees with it in his heart, he can not express his position at all. But he supported Guo Jia at this time, and he was the first to support Guo Jia, didn't he personally mutilate his fellow villagers?
Compared with Japanese devils, I believe that many people hate the kind of traitors who kill their compatriots with Japanese devils! Chen Deng stood up and agreed to Guo Jia's proposal at this time, which will definitely attract a lot of attention in the future, maybe the resentment of the people of Xiapi against Chen Deng in the future will be above Cao Cao and Guo Jia!
Chen Deng, as a native scholar of Xuzhou, is really unwise to do such a thing that offends the people. Could it be that because Chen Deng is now the Taishou of Guangling and is no longer in Xiapi, he doesn't care about the life and death of the Xiapi people at all? This is not a matter of indifference and ruthlessness, after all, a high-ranking scholar like Chen Deng, where do they know a few so-called villagers. Therefore, Chen Deng's behavior is not hurting others, it is simply self-harm.
Because no matter whether Chen Dengzan agrees with it or not, he will eventually be drowned, so Chen Deng wrote his name on the list of sinners when he could not be a sinner, and it was written in front! It's like cutting off your own arm.
However, perhaps from a personal point of view, Chen Deng's actions now are very impulsive. Reckless, stupid; But from a political point of view. There is some subtle ambiguity in it. Chen Deng is very young, and he is quite smart. Well. Maybe it's smart, I hope he wasn't misled by Guo Jia.
In the past, when Xuzhou was under Tao Qian's rule, including Liu Bei's rule, among the local scholars, the Chen Deng clan and the Mizhu clan were the most powerful. Because Mi Zhu and Liu Bei are more closely connected, during the period when Liu Bei controlled Xuzhou, the Mi family can be called the largest. However, it is precisely because Mi Zhu and Liu Bei are too close. When Liu Bei fell and was seized by Lu Bu Xuzhou, the Mi family also tragedy with Liu Bei. As for Chen Deng's father and son, they mixed well under Lu Bu.
After experiencing the vigorous development of Lu Bu during that time, Chen Deng's father and son have no opponents in Xuzhou, and now they have made great contributions to Cao Cao, and the future is limitless. It is conceivable that by that time, he would still be serving in this area of Xuzhou. In front of Chen Deng, who is too guarded in Guangling, in Xuzhou, whether it is power or influence, he can definitely be called a dominant family.
In addition, Guangling is a border area, and the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. If Chen Deng suddenly rebelled, the consequences would be unimaginable!
At the banquet yesterday, Guo Jia always insisted that Chen Deng was sick. Bringing Chen Deng to Xu Capital has already made Chen Deng think of this. So. It cannot be ruled out that there are reasons for being misled by Guo Jia, but Chen Deng does have his own reasons for doing this now.
One comes. cut off an arm, lost a part of the hearts of Xuzhou, reduced his threat, and kept Cao Cao from being wary of him; Second, clearly supporting Cao Cao, ignoring his own interests, looking at the problem from Cao Cao's point of view, and agreeing with Guo Jia's opinions, can be regarded as a political stand of loyalty.
In this way, Cao Cao will believe in Chen Deng even more, and Guo Jia will help him Chen Deng speak in Xudu, so Chen Deng will be able to be his Taishou in Guangling with peace of mind.
Chen Deng was the first to stand up to support him, and Guo Jia couldn't help but feel relieved that his "Guo family class" had another "fierce general". It seems that Chen Deng has completely believed in him Guo Jia, knowing that he is sick, and only Hua Tuo can heal, whether it is out of gratitude or otherwise, in short, he is now on his side Guo Jia.
"It's just that it will take some time for the levee to burst. The subordinates thought that we could first surround the city of Xiapi, let LΓΌ Bu surrender, and inform the city that we were breaking the embankment, and if we did not surrender, then flood the city. In this way, the effect should be better. Chen Deng added.
Xun Yu on the side couldn't help nodding when he heard it and said,
"This is very good, one, it can allow the people in the city to make some preparations in advance and try not to hurt the innocent; Second, once the water floods Pi, most of the people in the city will turn more contradictions to Lu Bu, who does not surrender, followed by us, who will break the embankment. As time passed, the people's grievances and soldiers' anger abounded, and the pressure on Lu Bu became more and more intense, even if he himself was still unwilling to surrender, those people below couldn't help but take the initiative to surrender. β
"At the same time, we can also prepare first-aid medicines, tools, etc. to deal with floods and plagues in advance during this time, and once the city surrenders, it will immediately benefit the people, and this move will definitely win back the hearts of the people." Liu Ye also added.
"That's a lot better! Well, if there's no better advice, then we'll do it! Cao Cao suddenly decided
Set a strategy, and soon someone will be separated to execute it in an orderly manner. However, at this time, there was opposition in the army, needless to say, the people who opposed it were Liu Bei who failed to participate in this kind of major internal meeting, and of course, Zhao Yun.
"Gong Cao, this plan is very inappropriate. Mencius said: The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. Causing innocent people to suffer, it is really putting the cart before the horse, and the people's will is no longer there, how can we talk about the society in the world? ! β
As soon as Liu Bei heard that Cao Cao had sent someone to break the embankment, he immediately approached Cao Cao to admonish him. Nonsense, of course Liu Bei has to admonish at this time, no matter what the considerations are, this will be greatly beneficial to the growth of his Liu Bei's reputation.
If Cao Cao finally listened to Liu Bei's words, it goes without saying that saving the people from fire and water is all the credit of Liu Bei, who had the courage to admonish. And if Cao Cao didn't listen to his Liu Bei's admonition at all, then needless to say, Cao Cao was a traitor who didn't compromise the means to achieve his goal, and completely ignored the life and death of ordinary people, and he Liu Bei would still get the name of benevolence.
Therefore, Liu Bei will never shut up now, and the bigger the trouble, the better it will be for him. Of course, Liu Bei also has to take the risk of being directly cut by Cao Cao, after all, only the dead will shut up forever.
Not only did Liu Bei find Cao Cao, but on the other hand, Zhao Yun also found Guo Jia.
"Big brother, what happened back then, you can only be regarded as inaction at most, it was Cao Cao who ordered the slaughter of the city, big brother, you just didn't stop it. But this time, why did you come up with this strategy? Don't you know how many people will die because of this?! β
For a while, both Cao Cao and Guo Jia were upset. But Cao Cao couldn't kill Liu Bei for various reasons, and Guo Jia couldn't ignore Zhao Yun. So, Guo Jia had an idea and directly launched a debate competition in the army. (To be continued......)
